FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on running blueprints, the GEL 1130 is primarily positioned as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For long-distance training, consider dedicated ASICS performance running models.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

ASICS generally fit true to size. We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and comparing them to the UK size chart provided.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

We strongly advise against machine washing as it can damage the structural adhesives and the synthetic leather finish. Stick to hand cleaning for longevity.

What is the inspiration behind the GEL 1130 design?

The design is a direct evolution of the GEL-KAYANO 14, carrying over the signature aesthetic while modernizing the materials for contemporary style.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

They are not waterproof. The materials are breathable, which means moisture can penetrate the mesh panels. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the synthetic leather upper

Creasing is a natural result of material movement; use shoe trees when not wearing to minimize permanent folds.

Dirty white mesh panels

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the mesh, then dab dry with a clean cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile lifestyle aesthetic fits casual and semi-smart outfits
  • Reliable GEL cushioning provides all-day support
  • Durable synthetic leather upper is easy to wipe clean
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue

Cons

  • Primarily designed for lifestyle use rather than intense sports
  • Synthetic materials require specific cleaning methods to maintain finish
  • Limited water resistance due to the mesh and leather construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL 1130 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Breaking In: These shoes typically require minimal break-in, but wearing them for short intervals initially will help the upper materials adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For synthetic leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
  3. Drying: Never place your shoes in a tumble dryer. Always allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue to degrade.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help the shoes maintain their structural integrity when not in use.
